Doh!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, don&#8217;t you worry because there&#8217;s something that will save you from redoing that sketch again: redefine sketch plane. Using this tool you can move a sketch from one plane\u00a0to another, and as long as the orientations are similar, there should be minimal -if any- rework required.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That said, there&#8217;s also some <strong>new<\/strong>\u00a0functionality coming out soon that could also help you out of this bind.
